Oh no! a tank job comes with extra money to spend, I hoping for a struggling team, so it would more even
with the rest of us...lol

I was checking other D3 league top teams, I think we have been one of the hardest all around leagues for the past
5 seasons, but we happened to have always a team or teams with just too big of a salary for the rest to overcome.

My kitties were a little nervous going into the 3rd and final game based on the size of Bluegrass' win in game two and them correctly predicting my plans for game two as well.

It has been fun being in this league and I hope our various teams meet up in cup matches or league matches down the road.
Good luck to everyone in III.10 next season.

Well that was a fun little season. Congrats to the kitties and best of luck at the next level.

I actually ranked my guesses, and push the ball was 2. I had a feeling you would just go look inside and shove it down my throat, and even with a guess, I couldn’t overcome the home court. I didn’t think I could beat push the ball either, so I guessed patient, which was the the most likely offense that I could actually beat.....

See you around, and best of luck to everyone next year. Hopefully we can avoid adding a team geared up for an upper level run and score some teams that promoted after lucky wins!

Well you certainly should get bonus points for thinking I was looking at look inside/low post, and then push the ball. I decided since I had looked inside in game 1, gone outside in game 2, and trained stamina this past week (in case I wanted to go up tempo) that I should just push the ball.

Still don't understand how you were able to have both of my boys (wiener and Milo) foul out in game 2. Since I have zero depth behind them (had to sell off my best big man sub/trainee at the all star break as I needed the money) that i could not do look inside (especially if you also went LI for game 3). Did not want to get into a fouling contest with your bugs, so kept it up tempo. Wiener is a stud, but his $155k/weekly salary was cutting way too much into my reserves. If I had not sold that trainee, might have gone bankrupt late this season. So glad my team did promote.

Weekly income in Div2 is typically about $200-250k/week more than div3. Which adds up.

Either your team or Deportivo should take title next season - just have a reasonable cup run, then bow out with a TIE match to pump up TS and focus on getting home advantage thru entire playoffs. That is what I try to do.

Good luck to all next season.

My kitities promoted up to II.2. This is the same division that LA Lords promoted up to after that team crushed all of us in season 50, on his way to winning the league by a landslide.

One season after winning III.10, and promoting up to II.2, LA Lords won II.2 and promoted up to the NBA - top league.
LA Lords will be competing in the NBA for season 52! That is very impressive.

Good luck to all in season 52.

Wait, How is that impressive?

He was literally playing in D3 with a squad ready to be competitive in D2, he even said he had an insane amount of cash
stash....lol

I wouldn't be surprised if he upgraded to an NBBA squad while playing in D2.


That GM knows what he is doing and with an obscene amount of money at his disposal, I say he is right on track.

How long have other teams been stuck in this league, or stuck in other leagues for many seasons?

Lords came down from D.2 (1 season); crushed all of us in D.3 to promote back up to D.2 (2nd season); won D.2 to promote to the NBA (3rd season). What have other teams accomplished over three seasons, whether in this league or elsewhere?

That GM knows what he is doing and with an obscene amount of money at his disposal, I say he is right on track.


See above on how it is impressive.

Good luck to all next season.

The dude has An obscene amount of money!!!

He can outmatch any rosters from 1 to 15, his bench was good enough to beat most of the teams in this league, that's
how deep his team was here, and probably he did in that D2 as well.

Dude!, Los Angeles Lords didn't come down from D2, he came up from USA IV.5.

That's how he was able to collect that insane amount of money.


So, no it wasn't that impressive.

That's why I have been considering going back to DIV for a couple of seasons ago to try and do the same, but
my team is competitive and I don't want dumb all those players just yet.

All of those things you just said are what is impressive.

to be able to save a lot of cash = impressive
to have a roster so good that the bench can compete and win in a very competitive D.3 league = impressive
to promote to d.2 and win it in one season = impressive.
I'm with homer on this one.
